Three Light Chandelier
Total watts allowed for a chandelier?
I purchased a 100-year old house with an old chandelier in it. The chandelier uses a total of 5 small light bulbs – the ones with the small base. Most lighting purchased in today’s day and age provide a maximum bulb wattage that can be used. There are no maximum indications on this chandelier, however. How do I know what is the maximum wattage per socket that I can use?
Also, just for my own knowledge let’s say the total maximum watts on a chandelier is 150watts and I have five 40watt bulbs. Can I use three 40watt bulbs without concern because I would be under the total of 150watts, or is each socket limited to only 30watts so I am creating a hazard with even a single 40watt bulb?
What is the risk of exceeding the bulb wattage limits anyway – fire, short circuit, blown fuse?
Most old chandeliers with small base (candelabra) bulbs have sockets that are rated up to 60w. The minimum fixture requirement is 18 AWG wire which has an allowable ampacity of 6 amps (720w at 120v). With only 5 sockets, it is unlikely that you would have a problem with the fixture wires. The biggest concern is the condition of the sockets. Since age degrades electrical parts, I probably would limit the bulbs to 40w. Exceeding the fixture’s allowable wattage (which in this case is limited by the sockets) could pose a fire hazard.
